As there is generally at least a year for new campaigns to actually start, I thought I would float this idea, for no other reason than I have a Sepecat Jaguar I want to build. So, how many people would be interested in a Ground Attack Aircraft campaign? Basically any close infantry support aircraft, any era (as far as the UK goes, anything with the GR prefix) so, lots of Harriers, Jaguars, A-10 Thunderbolts, ground attack helicopters, SU-25 Frogfoot, JU-87 Stuka etc etc.
Any thoughts?

A couple of threads over there's a fighter-bomber campaign forming up. It's not exactly what you envision, but your Jag will definitely fit.

Yep, I'm already signed up for that one, I am trying to fill the gap between fighter bombers and Big Bad Bombers. I am sure there are plenty of aircraft that don't fit neatly into either category.

If only truly dedicated ground attack aircraft are permited I guess the campaign can be the ideal "companion" for the FB campaign already shaping up.
I have 2 a/c kits that were design from the onset to be ground attack only, Hasegawa Hs129 B and Accurate Min. Il-2, the single seat early version.
Hope your campaign idea gets support from the folks
